A silver crescent cuts the twilight grey
Signaling the noise to fade away
I close the door on the world outside
To open the gates where the secrets hide

No water touches these parched lips of mine
But my soul is drinking from a stream divine
The hunger I feel is a humble start
To feed the starving corners of my heart

It’s not just the body that refrains
It’s the breaking of the invisible chains
Starving the ego to let the spirit breathe
Finding the truth that I truly believe

Oh Month of Mercy, you fall like the rain
On the dust of my sins, on the cracks of my pain
Ramadan, you are the sanctuary here
When the distance to Heaven disappears

I am burning the shadows to find the light
Walking through the hunger to win the fight
A thirty-day journey to make me whole
Welcome, oh welcome, the Guest of the Soul

The days represent the battle I face
But the nights are filled with a quiet grace
Standing in rows or standing alone
Reciting the Words that soften the stone

The breath of the fasting is sweet and pure
A medicine given to be the cure
For every harsh word that I ever spoke
For every promise that I ever broke

It’s not just the body that refrains
It’s the breaking of the invisible chains
Starving the ego to let the spirit breathe
Finding the truth that I truly believe

Oh Month of Mercy, you fall like the rain
On the dust of my sins, on the cracks of my pain
Ramadan, you are the sanctuary here
When the distance to Heaven disappears

I am burning the shadows to find the light
Walking through the hunger to win the fight
A thirty-day journey to make me whole
Welcome, oh welcome, the Guest of the Soul

And there is a Night hidden in between
More powerful than anything eyes have seen
Where the Angels descend in a peaceful flight
Turning the dark into blinding light

Oh Month of Mercy, you fall like the rain
On the dust of my sins, on the cracks of my pain
Ramadan, you are the sanctuary here
When the distance to Heaven disappears

I am burning the shadows to find the light
Walking through the hunger to win the fight
A thirty-day journey to make me whole...

Don’t leave me the same as I was before
Leave me with peace at my spirit's door
Refined by the fast... Forgiven at last...

Ramadan...
Ramadan...
